Normally I wait until I've owned and used something for awhile before I review it. However, I thought I'd help everyone else who owns a windows 7 computer. We inserted the disk and it worked right away. (As my title says, we have Windows 7 64 bit.)

We homeschool our kids and our 7 year old has been hesitant to want to learn math. (He's fine with the theory, he just doesn't want to try and figure out problems on his own.) Well, now he's doing math. The problems get harder as he works at them. If he doesn't know how to do something he clicks on a device and he's given instruction. We've only had it three days but he asks to play it. We'll see how it goes over time, but so far, so good.

For memorizing basic problems we will be using Timez Attack Standard--Home License You can go to their website and download for free or buy the expanded version. The downside is addition and subtraction are still in beta testing so as I write they are not complete. Hopefully soon. However, multiplication and division are completed and are fun ways for kids to memorize their facts.

I was sort of skeptical buying a CD-ROM-based computer game (this isn't 1998 anymore!), but I bit the bullet and did so, hoping my almost-6yo would gain some math skills as well as basic computer skills. I was pleasantly surprised to find the game installed and ran properly on my PC (running Windows 7 still). The game itself is appealing, and my son loves it (He asks to play it frequently.) It's not too hard (at least not all parts), nor is it too easy. It seems to be a game that will grow with him a bit, as it tackles many math-related problems in a fun and engaging way. A very good purchase.

I bought this for my bright four year old, and he loves this game. The graphics are nice and clear, and the math games are intuitive and fun. The game has three levels, titled Easy, Medium, and Hard. He started playing on the Easy level and then progressed to the Medium level. I love that it makes practicing math fun. The only thing I don't like is that in order to make the characters "more relatable" some of them speak in slang or say things like "totally, like whatever!" in a very ditzy voice, which I hope my son will not learn from. But otherwise I really like this game and would recommend it.

Math Missions is an okay investment. It doesn't do what I needed it to do which is basic addition. The easy levels are too easy and the next level jumps to 3 digit addition. Where is the kindergarten and 1st grade addition and subtraction problems? The way it is set up is not straightfroward...I can't believe this is the best they can do these days.Another problem is that you have to complete things in each area/shop/etc before you can "go to the arcade". The problem is it doesn't say how many time or how much you need to do in each part, so a child can't figure out exactly what needs to be done.There is no way a K or 1st grader can navigate alone. My daughter is pretty computer savy and she kept asking for help.However, It is better than a regular video game. I have yet to find a game that has basic addition subtraction that is not boring.

This is really good for kids. My niece is in kindergarten and she loves it. She always looks at it and it's helpful for her. Highly recommend! You can use it in the DVD player with your TV OR on the computer with a DVD/cd player.

The games are fun and my children love playing the games. but I believe a short math tutorials for each math skill would have been helpful. The "help" tool provided in the game doesn't help but repeats the instructions. There are approximately 7 games for your children to play and you can change the skill level from easy, to medium, to hard; thats it. I think more variety is needed. My kids learned the games quickly. They remembered the answers but i cant tell if they learned the skill each lesson was trying to teach. Navigation in the game wasn't so easy either. In all it was okay. I would pay no more than $5.00 for the game. I paid $14. I dont think it was worth it. I think the games were fun but my kids 4yrs and 6yrs did not really grow from it.

This game does not work on our Windows Vista even though it says it will. Not sure why not, but I knew that was kind of a chance with older games. My kids really wished it would have worked and so do I.

This is a very good game. My boys are just turned five and seven. They both can play it, as they have appropriate content for both of them. The best part is that they can pretty much play it all by themselves. It's easy to navigate. I have some other games that are hard to navigate, and I have to sit there the whole time and assist. My eldest was really having issues with enjoyment of math. He can do it just fine, but was beginning to convince himself that he was terrible at it, and that it was awful. This has helped him immensly he has a renewed enthusiam and thinks it's really fun. I have positve feelings toward scholastic products. I have been really pleased with most things I have purchased from them and this is obviously no exception
